Novak Djokovic v Stefanos Tsitsipas: French Open final-live! | Sports

Djokovic 0-1 Sisi Pass * Sisipas opened the field with a double, but entered the game at the next point, a rally that ended with a Djokovic error. However, Tsitsipas’ feet hadn’t moved yet, and his forehand scored a 15-30 score; even when he scored the next point with the forehand winner, his swing was so hard that he turned around. Another mistake by Djokovic subsequently improved the score, but a backhand winner brought us to a tie. When Tsitsipas was unable to switch further opportunities-Djokovic found a backhand winner-he Forced to deploy one of his own to save the break point. This already felt like a crucial game. When Sisipas didn’t put everything in the forehand clearing, Djokovic threw the racket at a moon falling on the sideline, which eventually led him to Won this. So Tsitsipas found a trump card, then one, then one! Oh my goodness, what a good start this is!

I really like Tsitsipas’ purple shorts. I do hope they are because he loves the prince.

“My friend doesn’t like Joker,” Petr Walker emailed. “I do. I hope and believe that he will win all four games this year.”

It must be said that it is not easy for him, but I agree that he has a great chance of winning a Grand Slam this semester. That will be one of the sports achievements of all time, especially when the final round will make him the most winning men’s player of all time, he will be out alone.

“To be fair, Kafelnikov also won the Australian Championship in 1999,” Gregory Phillips reminded. “I really hope Sisipas wins here. If he can win, Djokovic has failed to win this game in the two years since he defeated Nadal. That feeling… strange.”

Yes, trudat-my mistake. You are right, it would be very strange-at least Federer did it when Soderling took Nadal for him, although he didn’t have to contend with the fired Stan.

Sisipas and his brothers.

Sisipas is now a frequent visitor to the Grand Slam tournament, but this is his first final. I suspect he will be intimidated, but as Daniel Medvedev discovered in Melbourne, Djokovic can play well, it makes no difference. I think the difference is that Tsitsipas has more and better shots; Facing better players, Medvedev mainly hopes that his stability can be reflected.

Interestingly French Open It has changed recently. As I was growing up, players who were far behind other championship titles could win-Gustavo Kurten, Yannick Noah, Michael Zhang, Andres Gomez, Searle Gee Bruguera, Thomas Muster, Carlos Moya, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Gaston Gaudio and Albert Costa won both in Paris. Now it’s completely changed-the next new champion here will also win elsewhere.

I think until I started GBGing tennis I fully understand what a cruel game this is, with constant shuttles, hard work and skills without the rest you get in other sports. When top players start to compete, the only comparable ones are boxing and mixed martial arts.

“I am not the freshest person right now,” Djokovic wrote in his VT. Then pointed out that he is no stranger to winning epic semi-finals and finding a solution to the finals. “I need to dedicate myself to the court,” Tsitsipas mused.

Obviously, there are some other sports going on this afternoon. Follow Rob Smyth.

Yesterday’s women’s final was great, and Barbora Krejcikova’s interview was also great. She was mentored and mentored by the late Jana Novotna. Just before her death, she told her to win a grand slam and we are here.

At a more granular level, Calvin said: “Djokovic is very good at changing directions. He never lets players play the same ball twice in a row. He will only do what he usually does: make a lot of balls, try a few shots, and then approach like granite. Solid. Normally, players will focus on Sisipas’ backhand, but I don’t think Djokovic will do it because he always likes to change direction. As for Sisipas, it’s hard to say what he will do because there is no The real weakness can be exploited. But I think you will see a lot of cross-court forehands to open the court. He will have to take a risk. He doesn’t want to get involved in an ordinary baseline battle.”

So how will this game be played? Our resident coach Calvin Betton contacted us: “Djokovic is my favorite, but not as much as some people think. Djokovic has done it many times, and Sisipas did not. This is the main factor, but if Tissy Paz hits 9/10 at a critical moment and he will win. However, this is a big assumption-he must hit the winning ball under pressure at the end of each game.”

It feels weird to start tennis coverage by talking about football, but this is where we are, because what happened to Christian Eriksson yesterday resonated more widely. In the whirlpool of love, joy, and buzz we get from watching athletes whip ourselves for our pleasure, it’s easy to forget the costs, sacrifices, and dangers that make it possible—especially when we consider economic factors. But the reality is, Regardless of In terms of its rewards, sports is an extremely onerous job, it deprives youth, anonymity and family time-a privilege, but also a pain.

Few people prefer this approach than tennis, especially in Roland Garros. This afternoon, two physical and mental freaks will tear up for two to six hours in the hot summer, then pack their bags, head to the next place, and start over.Few words are more misused and abused than awesome, but Novak Djokovic And Stefanos Tsitsipas is every bit of it, and then some.

Naturally, Djokovic is a popular candidate for the 19th Grand Slam, which will put him only one behind Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the historical men’s roster. The awesome mastery of the latter means that only one of them was played on clay-in 2016, Nadal retired due to injury. But after seeing him leave one of the most exciting games of all time on Friday-anything-we can be sure that something very special is needed to stop him.

The truth is that Sisipas is not only special, but also a superstar. He has all the shots he has, as well as some shots he hasn’t invented, based on natural motivation, talent and temperament-even if he loses two sets of leads in the semifinals, you still know he will win. But becoming a superstar is more than just hitting the ball with a racket. It’s hard not to judge who a person is from the way they play, and Sisipas is all his tennis says: an obvious and straightforward top player. Add in his beautiful way of speaking, his musketeer aesthetics, and a semi-rhyming name full of resonance, resonance and hoarseness, and we have the next great sports hero in the world-but only if he can win some big things . This should be spectacular.
